    Got a little sidetracked. Helping my parents rebuild an airstream they just got.

    Just got a bunch of exhaust bends in, so I will get started on building my exhaust, then it will be time to fix the motor and weld the firewall in.

    I can honestly say that I very much dislike building headers.

    Firewall welded in, motor back in, new brake lines bent and installed. Tomorrow I have to relocate the oil filter to another location and get the last exhaust pipe built.

    Header primaries fabbed up, just need to weld them and weld the collectors on (and chop them to length). Cleaned the body ID plate up. Painted it black, sanded it to show the stampings, then clear coated it. Not perfect, but the plate wasn't perfect. Heck, it's 75 years old, I think it turned out fine. Crappy picture though.

    Replaced the last 6 feet of frame on the airstream, along with 3 crossmembers and 6 outriggers. It didn't have anything holding the body to the frame other than some very rotten wood. The frame was rotted out and the bow that held the body to the wood was almost gone. Test fitted a new bow and floor, body sits almost perfectly, almost.

    Well, after having my headers sit in the same spot at the shop for over two weeks and not get done, I decided just to finish them up with my cheap ass flux core welder. Was hoping to have them done right this time, but got tired of waiting.
    This is the Summit 2" primary sbc kit. Chopped up and rebuilt to my configuration. The collectors were garbage, barely fit. They only slip over about half an inch, but the angle is so much that it leaves a gap all the way around. So much of one that I had to cut the metal to bend it down (notice all the welds).
    I was going to clean it up and make it pretty, but I decided the splatter will help hold the header wrap on. After I weld on a reducer/3 bolt flage (header and side pipe were a PITA to handle with the last set), I am going to get them sandblasted and paint them with POR15 manifold grey HT paint then wrap them. Everything is waiting on the headers, since I can't put coolant in until they are on. But once they are, new gas/coolant/and plug wires, then she's ready to fire up.

    No updates from the engine builder. Just waiting for the call telling me which pushrods to order from Smith Brothers. I'll be bringing the car home from storage this week to figure out why my driver side power widow died and to try to figure which OE power window I can convert to work better than what I have.

    Got everything buttoned up. Fired it up and oil pressure pegged past 80. Yanked the motor back out. Decided that I was tired of f***ing with it and just to rebuild the motor. Yanked the cam out and found that it had the factory cam bearings which were delaminating. At that point, I said F it.
    Now the motor is at an engine builder in Portland getting built. Only thing getting reused is the block and main caps. Getting bored .030 over and a 432 stroker rotating assembly installed. Edelbrock aluminum heads with new intake and 800cfm carb. Bump stick is a Lunati Voodoo.

    After I get moved out to my property and get a garage set up, I'll be sourcing a late 80s-early 90s Dodge Dakota chassis to do a chassis swap.

    Gdmn friggin fraggin. Talked with the guy who built my motor. He ran it on the dyno this morning. 479hp/502tq. New crank, new rear seal, new billet rear seal retainer. Every freaking thing I can do to get rid of the rear seal leak and the damned motor still fucking leaks. Now it's gonna be atleast another 2 weeks before I get my damned motor back since he has to tear it down, put in another new seal, put it back together and run it again to see if it leaks with the 2nd new seal.
    If it leaks after that, I'm just going to have a brand new built motor that leaks because I'm getting freaking tired of wasting money.

    Yeah. It pisses me off. But I knew there was a chance. I'll give it one more seal, if that doesn't fix it, I'll just have a leaky motor.
